We made it through our first full week. We get a shorter one this week. We are learning names and routines and managing our class of 25 students. What a great bunch of kiddos. We shared a small bag of 5 items with each other and got to know a little more about each other's interests. We are learning about germs, rules, short vowel o, the number 5 (and ways to make it), doubles, and writing about things we like and like to do. We also started our studies on the growth mindset.Things on my mind:1. The unpredictable weather- we are not going outside when it is code orange air quality or rain. Glad the tropical storm went out to sea- now stay out there.2. Open House- next week- sure hope the parents can come- there is so much to share. I love meeting parents and showing our room and ideas.JMG
